But one genre you won’t find under his IMDB?

Rom-coms.

During an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” the host asked the 50-year-old if he’d ever consider starring in a romantic comedy, adding that he thinks he would “be amazing in it.”

“The honest answer is no,” Leto exclaimed without hesitation.

When Corden pressed for a reason, Leto noted that it was “the same reason I don’t want to eat a bag of Sour Patch Kids and a pizza at the same time. I’m not saying it’s not going to taste good going down.”

However, Leto admitted that he wasn’t entirely opposed to the idea, taking on a “never say never” approach.

“I would love to do something romantic and funny. We’ll see. Maybe there’s something around the corner, who knows,” he revealed.

Until then, we’ll get to see the singer and actor starring opposite Anne Hathaway in “WeCrashed,” a drama miniseries based on a Wondery podcast of the same name.

It traces the rise and steep plummet of the world’s most valuable startup, “WeWork.”

Leto will star as the company’s founder, Adam Neumann, while Hathaway will play his wife, Rebekah Neumann. They also serve as executive producers.

The first three episodes will hit Apple TV+ on March 18 with subsequent episodes releasing weekly.

He is also set to reprise his role of The Joker in an unnamed project. Additionally, he will star as Ares in “Tron 3.”
